Here's a subject appropriate for Sunday. Let's say you're a Christian. A born-again, washed in the blood of Jesus, child of God, citizen of heaven Christian. You know, because the Bible tells you, that there is a chance that you will be alive when the rapture occurs; when Jesus appears in the clouds and calls all his believers home. We'll skip over all that complicated stuff as to whether the rapture is pre, mid or post-tribulation and just agree that no matter when, it is going to happen. No matter how silly, how far-fetched or how ridiculous the whole thing sounds. Right?

Maybe you haven't thought of this yet, but surely the question will occur to you, as you are levitating through the air like a Criss Angel subject; "What about my pet I'm leaving behind? Who will take care of my beloved pet?"

Well, you might just be surprised to find out who has the answer for you.

A group of animal-loving atheists have banded together to provide a service known as Eternal Earth-Bound Pets to take that burden off your heart, mind and soul. Here's how they describe themselves and their service:

We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus.

We are currently active in 20 states [Sadly, my fellow Floridians, they have no such service yet for the Sunshine State] and growing. Our representatives have been screened to ensure that they are atheists, animal lovers, are moral / ethical with no criminal background, have the ability and desire to rescue your pet and the means to retrieve them and ensure their care for your pet's natural life.

You can find out more details at their official website. I gotta tell you, it is a real deal to ensure your peace of mind when you leave your pet behind for the streets of gold.
